One by one, they rose to make their pitches to the IT steering committee. As the day wore on, recalls consultant Doug Hubbard, business cases were presented for more than 20 IT projects. Each was framed in terms of the tremendous savings and benefits it would provide for the company, a giant midwestern nuclear-power utility. One skeptical attendee listened closely and entered a series of figures into a calculator. Toting up the promised benefits of each proposal, he announced, "If we signed off on all of these, we'd be able to cut staff by 110 percent."
Writ large, Hubbard's tale reflects the past decade's blind faith, massive investment, and sometimes bitter disappointment in information technology. A recent study by technology research firm Gartner concluded that 20 percent of the $2.7 trillion spent worldwide on IT in 2001 was wasted. Others have found little or no correlation between technology spending and corporate performance. "Let's face it. There's got to be some increased sobriety about the value that can be created from technology investments," notes Christopher Dallas-Feeney, vice president, financial services group, at Booz Allen Hamilton. "It was overblown on Y2K. The ERP [enterprise resource planning] era was a bit overstated, and CRM [customer relationship management] is following on its heels."
Little wonder, then, that most corporate buyers are searching for new ways to gauge the payback from IT investments. Eager to oblige, vendors and consultants have trotted out a variety of tools that purport to more precisely measure return on investment. The approaches range from self-service Web sites that cough up an ROI calculation based on two or three inputs all the way up to new software programs costing as much as $200,000. Indeed, the mad rush to ROI is beginning to look like a tour bus unloading blackjack players in Las Vegas: everybody's got a system.
The problem with so much ROI analysis to date is that it's done by the very parties that champion technology spending, from vendors to consultants to systems integrators and outsourcers. When ROI is done internally, it's often done by the department that seeks the funding. "There's a fundamental conflict of interest when the ROI analysis is conducted by proponents of the project," notes Hubbard.
This is not, of course, news to CFOs, or even CIOs. "We try not to justify things too much on soft benefits and wishing," says John W. Prosser Jr., senior vice president, finance and administration, at Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. in Pasadena, California. Allan Woods, vice chairman and CIO at Mellon Financial Corp. in Pittsburgh, goes him one better: "We would not calculate productivity [gains] if there were no headcount reduction." And Ray Seabrook, CFO at Ball Corp., a Denver-based packaging firm, voices the general discontent with soft benefits and the companies that champion them when he says, "Five years from now they're sitting there with all our money in their pockets and I'm still trying to figure out how to measure something like 'employee empowerment.'"

LeSean McCoy vs. Browns Run Defense and Four Other Key Match-ups on Sunday
Sep 7, 2012, 2:15 PM EDT
LeSean McCoy vs. Browns run defense
One of the few areas we didn't cover in our chat with WFNY's Scott Sargent earlier in the week was the Browns run defense, which ranked 30th in the NFL last season. Don't expect it to be a whole lot better right off the bat in 2012, either.
Cleveland lost defensive tackle Phil Taylor to a torn triceps over the offseason, and the promising second-year player will miss at least the first part of the season. The injury weakens a front four that even with Taylor's presence allowed 4.4 yards per carry in '11. Further compounding the issue, the injury to Chris Gocong and suspension of Scott Fujita has left the Browns with a collection of nondescript linebackers surrounding D'Qwell Jackson in the middle. Rookies will see significant action on both the defensive line and at outside linebacker.
Meanwhile, Michael Vick did not get much playing time during the preseason, what with his injuries and all. Obviously Andy Reid will try to get him into the flow of the game, but if the quarterback shows any rust, it makes sense to lean heavily on the running game to secure this outcome. Look for a big day from LeSean McCoy, and plenty of touches for either Dion Lewis or Bryce Brown — or both — late in the game once the Eagles have their opponent on ice.
Jason Babin vs. Mitchell Schwartz
An area we did address with our Cleveland counterpart was the match-up of the Eagles defensive line against the Browns offensive line, and specifically Babin against Schwartz. A second-round pick out of Cal, the rookie Schwartz is starting his first game at right tackle, and right out of the gate he draws 18 sacks in 2011 as his assignment.
Schwartz could very well be a capable player, maybe even good enough to stonewall Pro Bowlers, but this is his first day, and Babin has made a fool of even the most proven commodities. The Browns will undoubtedly help Schwartz with TE Ben Watson, and the good news for them is they have perennial Pro Bowler Joe Thomas working against Trent Cole on the other side, but Babin has to be frothing at the mouth while staring across at his competition. It could be a long day for Brandon Weeden in the backfield once #93 gets going.
Eagles linebackers vs. Trent Richardson
The Browns coaching staff will be looking for some way to take the pressure off of their rookie quarterback, and they have a shiny new toy in Richardson, who is seemingly healthy after a preseason clean-up procedure on his knee. In the Eagles wide-9 scheme, it's seemingly a question of when, not if, Richardson will get into the defense's second level, which is where they struggled so much last season.
This is where we'll finally get a glimpse of what exactly the team acquired when they traded for DeMeco Ryans in the middle. Ryans didn't make a bunch of plays in the backfield or anything like that this summer, but he did show a knack for getting off of blocks — something Eagles linebackers have really failed at in the past — and he was always in the right position, so instead of runs breaking into the secondary for seven yards, eight yards, or more, most were ending after three or four.
And tackling is a huge part as well. Richardson is an absolute beast of a man who squats 700 lbs. like it's no big deal. Getting this guy to the ground is not easy. Again this is an area where Ryans traditionally excelled, though putting hands on such an insane athlete is no simple matter either. Mychal Kendricks demonstrated he can swarm the ball carrier, but his ability to wrap up will be put to the test against Richardson, as will Akeem Jordan's, who took over for Brian Rolle late in camp.
Eagles wide receivers vs. Sheldon Brown
Joe Haden has escaped suspension (for now), so Cleveland's second-ranked secondary remains intact for Week 1. Haden is on the verge of superstardom in this league if he can convert on a few more big plays, so don't expect DeSean Jackson or Jeremy Maclin to just go easily flying by the guy.
Sheldon Brown is another story. As we mentioned in our look back on the trade that sent the former Bird to Brown town, Sheldon has remained a mostly reliable corner for that defense, but his age is definitely beginning to show. Brown was never the guy who ran the fastest 40 time, but now that he's lost a step or two, he can be a liability in deep coverage, especially against the type of weapons Vick has.
Make no mistake, the Browns aren't likely to let Jackson or Maclin go running by their decrepit cornerback. There will be plenty of safety help over the top, as there always is whenever Djacc is on the field. Whether or not the Eagles can expose this apparent mismatch will be one of the keys to the game however — not necessarily for big plays, but can the receivers create separation on the short and intermediate routes where Sheldon is stuck in one-on-one situations.
Brent Celek and Clay Harbor vs. Browns linebackers
Once again those outside linebackers are coming into play, only this time if they are asked to cover the Eagles' tight ends. If Vick has trouble finding targets on the outside, he may have his security blankets down the seam instead.
After a slow start in 2011, Celek turned it on down the stretch. As long as he's not required to help constantly in pass protection — a major concern again this season with King Dunlap at left tackle — he can be a serious weapon in the passing game. Harbor could find himself taking on a more prevalent role in the offense as well, particularly against a defense that could be prone to a two tight end attack that forces mismatches on outside linebackers. Again, the Browns were stingy against the pass last year, and we all know Andy Reid wants to throw the ball, so heavy involvement of Celek and Harbor might be a potential solution.

Young Heroes Run, Jog, or Walk
Just Like Home SACC, Kasson, MN fundraising for American Red Cross - Southeast Minnesota Chapter
Young heroes, ages 2-18, collect pledges and complete a 2.5 mile trek for the SE MN American Red Cross Heroes Campaign.
On Saturday, June 16th, 2012, area youth will run, jog, or walk from the West Jaycee Park in Kasson to Mantorville's Riverside Park. In support of their efforts, these young people will collect pledges from family, friends, and area businesses with the goal of meeting our fundraising target of $2500!!! This event is part of a larger Heroes Campaign conducted annually by the SE MN Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at the West Jaycee Park with the event scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. A minimum pledge of $20 per participant will be collected at the time of registration. Youth may register as individuals or as part of a team of up to 10 youth participants with a minimum of $200 in pledges.
A free lunch for participants and supporters will be served at the finish line, as well as music by Good Vibrations and lots of prizes for top individual and team pledge earners.
In its fifth year, this event has been coordinated by the staff and families of Just Like Home School Age Child Care in Kasson. This year, Precious 'Lil People Daycare has generously joined in the planning efforts. In the first four years of this event, participants have raised about $10,000 for the American Red Cross. This could not have happened without the very generous support of many area businesses and individuals. You have all been essential in the success that these youth have had in achieving Super Hero status with the American Red Cross.
In addition to monetary donations, individual and team prizes, as well as food donations for the Young Heroes lunch are greatly appreciated.

Vons to close Hesperia store
Grocery chain looks to relocate 52 workers
HESPERIA • Vons will close its Hesperia store on Jan. 5 after operating more than 23 years on Main Street, according to a company official.
"It is always a difficult decision to close a store, and one we never like to make," Jenna Watkinson, Vons public affairs and government relations manager, said in an email Friday. "However, we have performance standards for all of our locations and as it relates to our Hesperia store, this is a location that simply did not meet expectations."
Joseph Brady, commercial real estate broker at The Bradco Companies, said the Vons in Hesperia probably didn't have enough square footage while competitors opened up super-size stores.
"Shifting has now occurred," Brady said. "It doesn't surprise me at all."
Albertsons has closed two local stores over the last two years as well, as Walmart Supercenters and Super Targets spring up across the Victor Valley.
Brady said Stater Bros., which replaced its Hesperia location with a new "Blue Ribbon" supermarket, made a statement by doubling the store size and offering a high-scale experience at competitive pricing.
"They knew that Super Walmart was coming in and they still opened that store," Brady said. "I think the experience at this new Stater Bros. has really driven some traffic there."
Vons opened the Hesperia store on March 30, 1989. The store at 17390 Main Street employs 52 people, according to Watkinson.
"We are currently working to relocate as many employees as possible and look forward to being able to serve our loyal customers at our Victorville location," Watkinson said.
Vons also has a store in Victorville at Hesperia and Bear Valley roads.

Triple success for Astrium
19 December 2012
- 53rd consecutive successful launch of Ariane 5, and the seventh this year, confirming its status as the most reliable commercial launcher currently in service
- Three Astrium prime contractorships: Astrium Space Transportation for the Ariane 5 launcher, Astrium Satellites for the Skynet 5D satellite, and Astrium Services for the operation of the Skynet 5 programme on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence
- Three Astrium-built satellites launched within a period of less than three weeks: Pléiades 1B, Eutelsat 70B and Skynet 5D
Ariane 5 has been successfully launched from Kourou, French Guiana, for the 53rd time in a row and the seventh time this year, once again confirming the extraordinary reliability of the European launch vehicle under industrial prime contractorship of Astrium, Europe's leading space technology company. Astrium played a triple role in this launch, responsible for production of the Ariane 5 launcher, the design and manufacture of the Skynet 5D satellite and for the operation of the Skynet 5 programme on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD).
Commenting on the launch, Astrium CEO François Auque said: "After Pléiades 1B and Eutelsat 70B, Skynet 5D is the third satellite designed and built by Astrium Satellites to be launched in less than three weeks. Astrium Space Transportation builds Ariane 5, the most reliable commercial launch vehicle currently in service, and Astrium Services will continue to operate the Skynet 5 programme on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence. With three prime contractorships, this evening's launch clearly demonstrates Astrium's broad expertise across the board from launchers to services and satellites. We are the only European company to cover the entire range of civil and military space systems and services."
Skynet 5D is the fourth satellite in the Skynet 5 programme and will reinforce and extend the operational service already provided by this military telecommunications system. Skynet 5D has increased fuel capacity, enabling the satellite to be repositioned more frequently in orbit, enhancing its ability to respond to the operational requirements of the UK's armed forces. The satellite has an expected operating life of at least 15 years.
Signed in 2003, Skynet 5 is the MOD's military satellite telecommunications programme. Astrium Satellites was entrusted with the task of designing and building the satellites, while Astrium Services is responsible for system design and the day-to-day operation of the communication services as part of a public-private partnership.
Skynet 5D is the third satellite manufactured by Astrium to be launched within a period of less than three weeks. It was preceded by Pléiades 1B, launched on 1 December 2012, and Eutelsat 70B, launched on 3 December. Astrium Satellites has delivered nine satellites into orbit this year: Yahsat 1B, SPOT 6, Metop-B, Astra 2F, two Galileo IOV satellites, Pléiades 1B, Eutelsat 70B and Skynet 5D.
The total payload carried aloft by this 211th Ariane flight was 8,637 kg. The two satellites placed in geostationary orbit made up 7,735 kg of this weight, while the rest was accounted for by Astrium's SYLDA dual launch system and structures to adapt the satellites to the payload bay.

With these nitwits nominating people based on their empathy and not on a record of competence and judicial/legal knowledge and accomplishments....our third branch of government is useless....to a republic, but not to a dictatorship.I´m betting patrick has a higher bidder waiting in the wings for that job. But patrick wishes to become the next potus and if he alienates the gay community, he won´t make it. Interesting to see how this pans out.

HBase migration to the new Hadoop Metrics2 system
Elliott Clarke explains a bit the work that his doing in migrating the HBase metrics to Hadoop's Metrics2 system:
As HBase's metrics system grew organically, Hadoop developers were making a new version of the Metrics system called Metrics2. In HADOOP-6728 and subsequent JIRAs, a new version of the metrics system was created. This new subsystem has a new name space, different sinks, different sources, more features, and is more complete than the old metrics. When the Metrics2 system was completed, the old system (aka Metrics1) was deprecated. With all of these things in mind, it was time to update HBase's metrics system so HBASE-4050 was started. I also wanted to clean up the implementation cruft that had accumulated.
The post is more about the specific implementation details than the wide range of metrics HBase already supports and how this new system would unify and allow extending it.

Introduction to HBase Mean Time to Recover (MTTR) - HBase Resiliency
A fantastic post by Nicolas Liochon and Devaraj Das looking into possible HBase failure scenarios and configurations to reduce the Mean Time to Recover:
There are no global failures in HBase: if a region server fails, all the other regions are still available. For a given data-subset, the MTTR was often considered as around ten minutes. This rule of thumb was actually coming from a common case where the recovery was taking time because it was trying to use replicas on a dead datanode. Ten minutes would be the time taken by HDFS to declare a node as dead. With the new stale mode in HDFS, it's not the case anymore, and the recovery is now bounded by HBase alone. If you care about MTTR, with the settings mentioned here, most cases will take less than 2 minutes between the actual failure and the data being available again in another region server.
Stepping away for a bit, it looks like the overall complexity comes from the various components involved in HBase (ZooKeeper, HBase, HDFS) and their own failure detection mechanisms. If they are not correctly configured and ordered, things can get pretty ugly; ugly as in longer MTTR than one would expect.

The Master-Slave Architecture of HBase
Fantastic post by Matteo Bertozzi looking at HBase's master-slave architecture:
At first glance, the Apache HBase architecture appears to follow a master/slave model where the master receives all the requests but the real work is done by the slaves. This is not actually the case, and in this article I will describe what tasks are in fact handled by the master and the slaves.

HBase Data Modeling Tips & Tricks - Timeshifting
Jeff Kolesky describing the data model they are using with HBase and one (strange) trick to reduce the roundtrips to the database:
The idea is to put all of the data about a single entity into a single row in HBase. When you need to run a computation that involves that entity's data, you have quick access to it by the row key, and all of the data is stored close together on disk.
Additionally, against many suggestions from the HBase community, and general confusion about how timestamps work, we are using timestamps with logical values. Instead of just letting the region server assign a timestamp version to each cell, we are explicitly setting those values so that we can use timestamp as a true queryable dimension in our gets and scans.
In addition to the real timeseries data that is indexed using the cell timestamp, we also have other columns that store metadata about the entity.
It's amazing how many smart and weird tricks engineers put in their production systems when having to deal with real requirements and SLAs.

Introduction to Apache HBase Snapshots
Matteo Bertozzi introduces HBase snapshots:
Prior to CDH 4.2, the only way to back-up or clone a table was to use Copy/Export Table, or after disabling the table, copy all the hfiles in HDFS. Copy/Export Table is a set of tools that uses MapReduce to scan and copy the table but with a direct impact on Region Server performance. Disabling the table stops all reads and writes, which will almost always be unacceptable.
In contrast, HBase snapshots allow an admin to clone a table without data copies and with minimal impact on Region Servers. Exporting the snapshot to another cluster does not directly affect any of the Region Servers; export is just a distcp with an extra bit of logic.
The part that made me really curious and that didn't make too much sense when first reading the post is "clone a table without data copies". But the post clarifies what the snapshot is:
A snapshot is a set of metadata information that allows an admin to get back to a previous state of the table. A snapshot is not a copy of the table; it's just a list of file names and doesn't copy the data. A full snapshot restore means that you get back to the previous "table schema" and you get back your previous data losing any changes made since the snapshot was taken.
What I still don't understand is how snapshots are working after a major compaction (which drops deletes and expired cells).

Simplifying HBase Schema Development With KijiSchema
Jon Natkins from WibiData:
When building an HBase application, you need to be aware of the intricacies and quirks of HBase. For example, your choice of names for column families, or columns themselves can have a drastic effect on the amount of disk space necessary to store your data. In this article, we'll see how building HBase applications with KijiSchema can help you avoid inefficient disk utilization.
The recommendations related to the length of column names is a one of those subtle signs of how young the NoSQL space is1.
This is not specific only to HBase, but also MongoDB, RethinkDB, etc. ↩

Project Rhino: Enhanced Data Protection for the Apache Hadoop Ecosystem
Avik Dey (Intel) sent the announcement of the new open source project from Intel to the Hadoop mailing list:
As the Apache Hadoop ecosystem extends into new markets and sees new use cases with security and compliance challenges, the benefits of processing sensitive and legally protected data with Hadoop must be coupled with protection for private information that limits performance impact. Project Rhino is our open source effort to enhance the existing data protection capabilities of the Hadoop ecosystem to address these challenges, and contribute the code back to Apache.
Project Rhino targets security at all levels: from encryption and key management, cell level ACLs to audit logging.

Flatten Entire HBase Column Families With Pig and Python UDFs
Chase Seibert:
Most Pig tutorials you will find assume that you are working with data where you know all the column names ahead of time, and that the column names themselves are just labels, versus being composites of labels and data. For example, when working with HBase, it's actually not uncommon for both of those assumptions to be false. Being a columnar database, it's very common to be working to rows that have thousands of columns. Under that circumstance, it's also common for the column names themselves to encode to dimensions, such as date and counter type.

Apache HBase Internals: Locking and Multiversion Concurrency Control
Gregory Chanan explains the ACID per-row semantics of HBase and the usage of row-level locks and MVCC to ensure them:
For writes:
- (w1) After acquiring the RowLock, each write operation is immediately assigned a write number
- (w2) Each data cell in the write stores its write number.
- (w3) A write operation completes by declaring it is finished with the write number.
For reads:
- (r1) Each read operation is first assigned a read timestamp, called a read point.
- (r2) The read point is assigned to be the highest integer such that all writes with write number <= x have been completed.
- (r3) A read r for a certain (row, column) combination returns the data cell with the matching (row, column) whose write number is the largest value that is less than or equal to the read point of r.
Probably self understood that you should read and save this article if HBase is already in your datacenter or at least at horizon.

I found out last night that Nature's Pentacle is a finalist in the 2009 EPPIE competition, and I'm still so excited I'm bouncing off the walls
November was a tough month around here, since my younger daughter, who has Cystic Fibrosis, spent a week in the hospital with pneumonia and then another week on IV antibiotics at home. So it was wonderful to start December off with some spectacular news, and put November behind me.
Nature's Pentacle is available from Loose Id, and is the first book in my Pentacle Series. Here's a blurb:
After someone exposes their role in a forbidden, sexual rite to heal the parched earth, Matt and
Lena are forced to flee vigilantes and a rogue witch. Drawn to each other despite Matt's ties to Kenji, the man who rescued him from a troubled past, they're swept into a ménage, and the three witches exchange magical traits in an explosion of power and passion.
As Matt and
Lena face another pentacle rite, a violent kidnapping, and a magical duel, their attachment deepens--and so does Kenji's resentment at losing Matt. The addition of another witch to the group eases Kenji's jealousy, and sparks fly when the foursome mingles sex and magic on the kitchen floor, carrying them finally, to the love they never imagined they'd find.
Did I mention I'm SO excited to be in the final round?

Congressman Burton used this hearing to rehash a series of some of the most thoroughly discredited anti-vaccine positions of the past decade. Burton is a firm believer in the myth that vaccines cause autism, and he arrogantly holds the position that he knows the truth better than the thousands of scientists who have spent much of the past decade doing real science that proves him wrong.
In a classic political move, the committee called on scientists Alan Guttmacher from the NIH and Colleen Boyle from the CDC to testify, but in fact the committee just wanted to bully the scientists. Committee members lectured the scientists, throwing out bad science claims, often disguised as questions, thick and fast. Alas, Guttmacher and Boyle weren't prepared for this kind of rapid-fire assault by pseudoscience.
Burton himself was the worst offender, offering anecdotes and bad science with an air of authority. He stated bluntly:
"I'm convinced that the mercury in vaccinations is a contributing factor to neurological diseases such as autism."
No, it isn't. Dozens of studies, involving hundreds of thousands of children, have found the same thing: there is no link whatsoever between thimerosal and autism, or between vaccines and autism. And Burton went off the deep end with this:
"It wasn't so bad when a child gets one or two or three vaccines… Mercury accumulates in the brain until it has to be chelated."
Bang bang, two false claims in 10 seconds. First he claims that mercury from vaccines "accumulates in the brain", a statement with no scientific support at all. Then he claims that chelation therapy is the solution – a radical, potentially very harmful treatment that no sensible parent would ever force on their child. Unfortunately, some quack doctors have experimented with chelation therapy on autistic children, despite that fact that it can cause deadly liver and kidney damage, and one of them caused the death of a 5-year-old boy in 2005.

Veterans of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival may notice an upgrade in their surroundings this year. Disney has been enhancing the marketplaces, the small kitchen outlets where the fest's global fare is made and sold.
"Before, they were generic marketplaces with paint treatments," says Michael Jenner, event content-development manager at Epcot. He credits David Buckley, the festival's art director, with spearheading some of the new designs.
The marketplaces — we once called them kiosks — look permanent, and some of them are. The new look is more textured, ornate, themed and sturdy. It doesn't seem like they're about to roll away.

It's an illusion, of course.
"We can actually strip these down and apply a new theme to it," Jenner says.
The size of the marketplaces is expanding, he says. Epcot Executive Chef Jens Dahlmann wants to do more cooking on the spot so guests can watch their food being prepared.
"Last year, we expanded because Chef wants to do more in the marketplaces, and more means more equipment, more space," Jenner says
"I think at one time we were 8 by 8 [feet], which is too small," he says. Through the years, the structures have grown to 12 feet by 16 feet, he says.
Inside the buildings, chefs serving up small-plate dishes and desserts share the space with equipment and supplies for beer, wine and other beverages. Each area has a handful of ordering stations with umbrellas; a tub of iced, bottled drinks; a utensil stand; potted landscaping; and stanchions for crowd control. Some marketplaces have tables for sit-down dining. Each marketplace is devoted to a locale or a food grouping such as cheese or desserts.
In the quest for more elbowroom, there are variations within the marketplaces.
"To make more room in some of the marketplaces — Scotland, Belgium and Hawaii — we put the beer outside. We have a little bar," Jenner says.
The newest marketplaces are bigger — and more robust. They are engineered to stand up to high winds of 150 mph.
If there's a hurricane, I'm going to the marketplaces," Jenner says.
Flower for thought
Speaking of theme-park eats, let's look ahead to next year's Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which this year experimented with adding food, including the famed Dole Whip. Can we have seconds, please?
Yes, we can, Jenner says. The two trademark Epcot fests will continue to have distinct offerings.
"We're not going to cut and paste the menus," he says.
Well, mostly. Maybe. A small crossover has been considered, he says.
"Maybe Flower & Garden has one Food & Wine marketplace, and maybe Food & Wine has one Flower & Garden marketplace … to kind of advertise what's next," Jenner says. "We're not there yet, but we've been toying with that idea."
On the cheap side
Is it possible to enjoy Epcot's Food & Wine fest on the (relative) cheap? We've scoured the festival menu for the five least- expensive items, not counting desserts, and found you could get a full belly without ending up with an empty wallet. The "bottom" five, if you will, include:
Almond-crusted blue cheese soufflé with fig jam, at the Cheese marketplace (near Epcot's Germany): $3.25
Schinkennudeln, a pasta dish with ham and cheese, from the Germany marketplace: $3.25
Vegetarian haggis (alongside rutabaga and mashed potatoes), from the Scotland marketplace: $3.25
Zapiekanki, (toasted mushroom, caramelized onion and cheese bread with house-made ketchup), from the Poland marketplace: $3
Dole pineapple fritters, from the Refreshment Port near the entrance to World Showcase on the Canada side: $1.99.
The least expensive overall kiosks are South Korea with two main items — kimchi dog and lettuce wraps — under $4 and Belgium, with its selection of waffle-based dishes, ranging in prices from $3.25 to $4.
The entire festival menu, complete with prices, is available at TheDailyDisney.com.

Treasure from the deep! In 1784, the El Cazador set sail from Mexico and headed for New Orleans, then a Spanish possession. On board was 450,000 pesos in silver Reales. This shipment was needed to stabilize the Spanish colonial monetary system in North America. But the ship landed on the ocean's bottom, where it's been for over 200 years.
In 1993, a fisherman netted the lost wreck and its coin cargo by accident! Now you can own an actual .875 Fine Silver 2-Reale or 2-bit Coin from long ago. Most are dated 1783. Each is the same size and weight of a U.S. quarter of the time.

I'm new to the BFL program and I've ordered the books; but I'm already trying to read as much as I can so I can start soon ;-)
I was wondering how much fruit you can eat on the program?
a healthy carb is the size of your closed fist. protein is the palm of your hand. I eat a fruit and a protein almost all my meals. Like low fat cottage cheese=protein, chucked pineapples, peaches, cantaloup anything fruit. Hope that helped, I'm sure others do different things.
Fruit is great on BFL and you can eat it every day if you like. Fruit counts as a carb because of the natural sugars found within and as we dont want too much sugar in out diet the best fruit you can get are the berries. I eat a fist full of black berries or rasberries once or twice a day. Tropical fruits however have a lot of sugars and a high GI, things like banana and pineapple. Best to avoid those ones if possible.
I have actually cut most fruit out just because I have a hard time balancing the 40-40-20 (protein-carb-fat) when I eat fruit. I am trying to eat lean meat and veggies for my meals. I still enjoy an apple on occasion with my cottage cheese.
Greetings, When I was on the last three challenges, I ate, chunked pineapple, pears, peaches (in natural juice or splendra), mandarin oranges, canteloupe and apples (au natural ) and of course bananas (smaller ones) to fit the fist sized requirement . They all seemed to help with nutrients and stamina for the day. Hope this helps out!

U.S. WNT Arrives in South Korea For Peace Queen Cup
Oct 24, 2006
Notes from Seoul, South Korea
2006 Peace Queen Cup
Oct. 24, 2006
U.S. WOMEN ARRIVE IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA FOR 2006 PEACE QUEEN CUP: The U.S. Women's National Team arrived in Seoul, South Korea, on the evening of Monday, Oct. 23, after a 12-hour direct flight from Los Angeles. Three players did not make the team flight due to airline difficulties, but forward Natasha Kai, defender Amy LePeilbet and midfielder Joanna Lohman took a later flight and arrived in time for breakfast on Tuesday morning. U.S. head coach Greg Ryan has brought a 20-player roster to this event, which will be staged for the first time as a women's tournament after two previous incarnations featured professional men's clubs, including the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2003. The USA will train for four days in Seoul while getting acclimated to the 13-hour time difference from the East Coast of the United States, before taking a quick trip south on Oct. 28 to Kimhae, where the USA will open the tournament on Oct. 29 against Denmark. The U.S. team will return to Seoul following the match, where it will be based for the final two first-round matches, against Australia on Oct. 31 in Cheonan and against the Netherlands on Nov. 2 in Suwon, both within driving distance of Seoul. (Peace Queen Cup home)
U.S. WNT Peace Queen Cup Schedule
Date Opponent Venue City Kickoff / ET
Oct. 29 Denmark Gimhae Stadium Kimhae 5 p.m. / 4 a.m. ET
Oct. 31 Australia Cheonan Stadium Cheonan 4 p.m. / 3 a.m. ET
Nov. 2 Holland Suwon WC Stadium Suwon 2:30 p.m. / 1:30 a.m. ET
FIRST TRAINING IS A LIGHT ONE: The U.S. held its first training in South Korea on the afternoon of Oct. 24 under bright sunshine at the massive stadium in Seoul that served as the main stadium for the 1988 Olympics. The stadium is part of a large complex of former Olympic venues and the U.S. team will be training there daily up until they leave for the first match on the southern coast of Korea in Kimhae. The USA trained for about an hour to get the legs moving after a long flight, playing some possession and some small-sided games before taking a few minutes on their own. The weather has been surprisingly warm for this time of the year in South Korea, a turn of events much enjoyed thus far by the American women. The U.S. team enjoyed a highly efficient police escort to and from training with motorcycle cops executing what can best be described as a "forced merge," actually moving traffic out of the far left lane to let the U.S. bus pass.
USA RUNS TABLE OF DOMESTIC MATCHES: The U.S. team arrives in South Korea with a record of 13-0-3 in 2006 after having won all seven domestic friendly matches this year. In fact, the USA has won nine straight since tying Germany 0-0 in the Algarve Cup final on March 15 (the USA eventually fell in penalty kicks). The USA played its first nine matches outside the USA before coming home to defeat Sweden, Ireland, Canada, China, Mexico, Chinese Taipei and Iceland. The matches in South Korea will be the final preparation before the USA enters Women's World Cup qualifying on Nov. 22 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., taking on either Mexico or Trinidad & Tobago in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup.
2006 CONCACAF WOMEN'S GOLD CUP COMMENCES NOV. 19: The 2006 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup, a six-team competition that will serve as this region's qualifying for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, will take place at two venues in the United States from Nov. 19-26. The third edition of the Women's Gold Cup will feature Jamaica vs. Panama and Mexico vs. Trinidad & Tobago playing first round matches on Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Tropical Park Stadium in Miami, Fla. The winners of those matches will advance to the all-important Women's Gold Cup semifinals on Wednesday, Nov. 22, at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., as the JAM-PAN winner takes on Canada and the MEX-TRI winner faces the USA. Both the USA and Canada were given byes to that stage of the tournament. The winners of those semifinal matches will advance to China and the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. The tournament championship and third-place match will take place on Sunday, November 26, at The HDC with the winner of the consolation game earning a spot in a two-game, home-and-away playoff against Japan for the final berth to WWC '07. Ticket prices and an on-sale date will be announced shortly. The USA has won both previous Women's Gold Cups, one in 2000 and then again in 2002 when the tournament determined CONCACAF's representatives at the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup. Tickets are available through the Los Angeles Galaxy at 1-877-3-GALAXY (1-877-342-5299) or at www.lagalaxy.com.
FIRST TRIP TO SOUTH KOREA FOR U.S. WOMEN: While the U.S. Men's National Team produced some of the most memorable moments in U.S. Soccer history at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea, this is the first-ever trip here for the U.S. women. The U.S. Women's National Team has made 12 trips to Asia since its inception in 1985, but nine of those have been to China, two to Japan and one to Chinese Taipei. South Korea marks the 21st country the U.S. team has visited in its history. The U.S. team has played matches in every continent except for Africa (and, of course, Antarctica as penguins don't play soccer). Some notable countries that the U.S. Women's National Team has never played in are: Mexico, Finland, Argentina, England and Russia.
BABIES ON BOARD: It probably is a coincidence that two of the USA's central defenders – who have to lead, organize and direct the team -- both have babies, but Christie Rampone and Kate Markgraf have brought strollers, diapers and a bag full of toys along with their cleats and shin guards to South Korea. Rampone's daughter Rylie is just over a year old while Markgraf's son Keegan was born on July 18. Staying on the family theme, the sister of U.S. midfielder Carli Lloyd, Ashley Lloyd, is on the trip as the team nanny, to look after the little ones when their moms are training or in meetings.
LILLY GETS HITCHED, WILL JOIN TEAM THIS WEEK: Nineteen of the 20 players on the U.S. roster are in South Korea as U.S. captain Kristine Lilly, who got married last weekend, will join the team later this week after taking a few days with her new husband.
HERE COME THE BRIDES: While Lilly is newly married, two other players will be standing at the altar in December. Find out all about the upcoming weddings of defender Tina Frimpong and midfielder Aly Wagner in a special wedding edition of all_access video on ussoccer.com. Among other tidbits, you'll find out where the players are getting married and where the tears will be coming from as they walk down the aisle.
OSBORNE ON THE RUNWAY: As part of the festivities for the Peace Queen Cup, organizers asked one player from each team to be a part of a fashion show on Oct. 27 by legendary Korean high-fashion designer Andre Kim. For the U.S. team, that player will be midfielder Leslie Osborne, who went for her "fitting" after training on Oct. 24. When Osborne walked into Kim's store in an upscale area of Seoul, Kim was actually there and helped pick out a dress as his numerous assistants scurried about and fretted over Osborne. The 70-plus-year-old Kim, who had his first show in 1966 in Paris, is still a major player in the fashion world. He also designed the uniforms for Korean athletes at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Kim is said to combine the classical design with futuristic elements and his clothes are very popular with celebrities in Korea. To see some photos of what Osborne may be wearing, go to the ussoccer.com photo gallery.
Stat of Note
The U.S. Women's National Team will play at least eight matches in Asia this year (three in China, two in Japan and three in South Korea), nine if it makes it to the championship game of the Peace Queen Cup. That is the most matches played in Asia in a calendar year by the U.S. women since 1991 when they played nine, all in China, with six coming at the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup.

SOURCE Martin Baggen
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Singer/Songwriter Marty Baggen announced the release of his full-length album The Light and The Dark. Marty wrote and composed the album entirely himself.
"The name of the album, The Light and The Dark, describes the radical moods that fueled the creation of the material. I enjoy putting things together that don't fit. For example, reaching a point in a song where you are talking about something quite ugly or painful, but setting it atop a lovely and pretty melody. That complexity and contrast is what makes this album unique," says Marty.
The music on the album is a blend of alternative rock, acoustic, and folk. It sounds similar to artists like R. E. M., David Bowie, John Mayer, and Peter Gabriel.
"The vocals strike a Bowie comparison, and the style is in the vein of John Mayer but with more of an eclectic arrangement. Lyrically, there is a lot of similarity with Peter Gabriel in the sense that he places a lot of emphasis on the phonetic structure of what he is saying," says Marty.
The Light and The Dark is available for $8.99 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Light-Dark-Marty-Baggen/dp/B00HWNK5Q2.
There are 12 tracks on the album:
1. Your Kingdom
2. The Same Kind of Different
3. You're No Slave
4. Frank and Eddie
5. Bordertown
6. Dance
7. The Ballad of Oswald
8. Lakes and Roses
9. Religion Kills
10. Radar
11. Alaska
12. You Can Never Go Home
"The second track, 'The Same Kind of Different,' is the one I am most proud of. It will make a nice fit on college radio playlists," says Marty. "Also, the songs 'Alaska,' 'Lakes and Roses' and 'Your Kingdom' are certain to earn favorite status with many listeners."
To learn more, go to http://martybaggen.com/. For press inquiries or media requests please contact Kelsey McBride at Music PR Services at (805) 807-9027 or by email.

Earl aims for Carolina coast tonight; other storms continue marchby Sonja Isger
Click for interactive tracking map.
Hurricane Earl is a Category 4 storm that at 5 a.m. was east of the Bahamas and headed to the North Carolina coast, where it is expected to pass near the Outer Banks tonight and approach southeastern New England Friday night.
For now, the skinny black line keeps the hurricane's eye off the coast, but a western shift in the track can't yet be ruled out, according to the National Hurricane Center. Earl has maximum sustained winds of 145 mph and is moving north at 18 mph.
While Earl was a Category 4 at 5 a.m., forecasters say the expect it to gradually weaken starting later today.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Fiona is 295 miles north of San Juan Puerto Rico with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. The storm is moving at 17 mph. Fiona is expected to pass near Bermuda Saturday morning.
Finally, Tropical Storm Gaston is more than 2,800 miles to our southeast. And while it's expected to gradually strengthen over the next two days, it's so far away that it will be well into next week before it could influence our local forecast.

Cheese Knife for semi-hard cheese, large - Olive Wood
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
City / Village: Scarperia
Each knife in the Saladini cheese collection was designed with a specific cheese style in mind, and without excessive design flourishes.
